This week I was reading about Frank Lloyd Wright. The architect that designed Falling Water, a house in Pennsylvania built over a waterfall. At the time he was 67. Between the ages of 67-91 he had his most productive years designing over 120 houses. This inspired me. Someone told me when I turned 50 “You know if you were a dollar you’ve …
This week I was reading about Frank Lloyd Wright. The architect that designed Falling Water, a house in Pennsylvania built over a waterfall. At the time he was 67. Between the ages of 67-91 he had his most productive years designing over 120 houses. This inspired me. Someone told me when I turned 50 “You know if you were a dollar you’ve only got about 25 cents left to live”. My answer was yes but this last quarter is made of gold :). I love to write. My mom will jokingly tell you she started to write before she started to crawl. I want to publish a devotional that combines my passion for running and traveling. Been very blessed to have traveled to 72 countries and my favorite way of exploring them is running. A quote I read penned it down in a beautiful way:
“Sometimes one day in a different place gives you more than ten years of life at home.”
What an amazing story about Frank Lloyd Wright -- I had no idea. (I remember seeing the Ken Burns documentary on him several years ago, but I didn't know he did so much of his best work AFTER age 67.) I love, love that last sentence -- and I've gotta hear which are all these 72 countries?! And what kind of things do you like to write?
I can’t mention them all here but I’ll give you some of my favorites. Guatemala, Italy, Czech Republic, The Azores, Morocco and Puerto Rico ( definitely biased on that one because I’m from there 😄). I like to write about the lessons God has taught me in each of these countries using people of different races, beliefs, cultures and religions. The world is truly a classroom and I really, really enjoyed learning from a taxi driver in Guatemala, a farmer in Thailand and a tour guide in Vietnam, among others. Educated or not, rich or poor God uses others different from us to speak into our lives. That is what I want my devotional to be about in a nutshell.
